i'd fix the shiny bits up front, get springs, and lower the rear wing....also - Vender/Parts, etc, type stickers are only cool if you've secured sponsorship.

:D

Don't like the B-pillar. The billet looks really uneven. Other than those, looks alright.

I hate the graphics...they scream "Look at me I'm 16, this is my first car and I'm a gangsta".

But I like everything else.

The grill work up front looks cheesy because it's all uneven. Can it be straightened? Other than that, looks OK!

Get rid of the b-pillar stickers buddy. I like the look in general, but those stickers HAVE TO GO.

im not gonna repeat all that stuff about the stickers & crooked grille inserts (guess i sorta just did)

anyway, i noticed that the front gap between the hood/headlights/fenders & the front end/nose is rather uneven....did you get it fitted by a "professional"??? it looks like its sagging...

At least use the official Mazdaspeed logo. I'm sure they'd send you some decals if you asked...

hood uneven, stickers, front shiny grills look terrible IMO. I think the 8 should remain with a "chrome free look"(this includes strakes) since the car doesnt come with any chrome stuff on it, MAYBE if you had chrome tires but I dont like those either. Sorry to sound so harsh on your car but you did ask and don't worry many people don't agree with me so do the opposite of me and you should do ok lol.

Is that the mazdaspeed rearend? .

Chrome grills belong on Escalades and 300C, not sport cars. Btw, noticed you are from Live-no-more, come out to some of the Bay Area meets.

The overall look is cheesy/ricey. The RX-8 deserves better!

Ya'll are harsh man. Lay off a little. Honestly, the man is trusting you with his comments and the stabs just keep comin'. I think that the b-pillar and logo on the front would be better if they were the mazdaspeed logo instead of some random writing. Everything else looks awesome! Keep up the good work! Don't let these guys tear you up!

Ok... this will sound rude, but i apologize.

Is that a replica MS front bumper? The fitment is just off, and doesnt look like the actual one. Ok, so now my second point... why put a MS sticker on a replica bumper?

Like i said before... overall i think your car looks nice. keep up the good work.

Looks good, the MS kit has a clean look to it that complements all the colours. But I have to agree with the rest regarding your MS decals. Smaller versions of the actual Mazdaspeed logo would look great on the b-pillars and your front end.

Try to have a shop fix the fitment of the front bumper if you can. That gap between it and the hood just makes it look like the hood isn't shut properly. But overall, I like what you've done so far. Any plans for an aftermarket exhaust?
